She also spent many years aiding the\nplayers of the Realms by speaking for them as Mortal\nHead of The Symposium and by preparing enjoyable\nquests as the Co-Head of the Inter-Guild Quest Council.\n\nRecently, I had the privelege to speak with\nDarshanin about her new role as an Immortal of the\nRealms of Despair.\n\nA: When did you begin playing Realms?\nD: I began playing Realms in the Fall of 1998.\n \n----------------------------------------------------------------\nDarshanin - by Alsyria                                Interviews\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nA: What kept you playing?\nD: Many different aspects...wanting to Avatar, the\n   people I met, the challenges, along with the Guild\n   and councils I belonged to.\n\nA: How long were you a member of GoP?\nD: 3 years, 2 months, 10 days!\n   [Darshanin stares at the sky.]\n \nA: How long were you leader?\nD: I was in guild leadership from October 1st, 1999.\n\nA: What has been your favourite moment on Realms?\nD: Oh goodness.  There have been so many wonderful\n   events and opportunities over the years. I don't\n   think I can name just one.\n \nA: What were your first thoughts when you were Immed?\nD: I was shocked, [it] was overwhelming at first, to\n   the point I couldn't type for a few minutes.\n   [Darshanin blushes.]\n \n----------------------------------------------------------------\nDarshanin - by Alsyria                                Interviews\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nA: What do you enjoy about playing Realms?\nD: The players and assisting in making the game fun\n   for as many people as possible.\n \nA: What do you like to see happening in Realms?\nD: People interacting and enjoying themseleves.\n   Whether it be through questing, RP, organizations...\n   just people having a good time together.\n\nA: What do you dislike to see happening?\nD: People sitting around saying 'I'm bored'. The\n   realms is what you make of it, and always something\n   to do, you just have to go do it.\n\nA: What made you choose a Paladin as your main?\nD: Definately the Guild of Paladins. They are a\n   wonderful group of people. If I wasn't addicted\n   before I joined there, I quickly became addicted\n   from being a member there.\n\nA: What organisations were you a part of as a mortal?\nD: that would be GoP, TS and IGQC.\n \n----------------------------------------------------------------\nDarshanin - by Alsyria                                Interviews\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nA: What was your favourite organisation?\nD: And my fav org, no bias here, but again GoP.

After years of keeping our\nears in the rumour mill, and years of selfless hard\nwork from those Imms we adore so much...\n\nOn August the 18th 2002...Our world as we knew it\nended, and we were introduced to the world of post-\nShattering. With this world came many wonders; Dozens\nof new areas for us to play in, hundreds of new mobs\nto get aquainted with, two totally new classes, and\ncountless more changes which we just love.\n\nOver the last few weeks, we were able to grab a few\nmoments of Immortal time to get to know our beloved\nImmortals which made this whole game possible, and who\ngave up their time to work on the wonderous Shattering.\n\nSo sit back, relax, and get to know your favourite Imm!\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Adonia\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Adonia\nLevel : 56\nOrgs : Deity of Arcanes, Neophyte Council\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    I've been playing for ... 8 years come December.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    Somewhere around 7 years.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    The people. I love meeting the new players, Imms\n    and mortals alike. It's so neat to get such a\n    different group of people from such different\n    backgrounds and homes together for one thing.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I like seeing how the players change over time. I\n    like seeing the changes that come in, both coding\n    and building. I definitely like seeing how the\n    game itself just changes and grows with each new\n    person that plays. It's quite fascinating.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Adonia\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    I enjoy interacting with the players, whatever the\n    reason. I really enjoy being deity of an order,\n    that has been one of the most fun things I've had\n    a chance to do. I like to help people out when\n    they're having a problem or just listen when they\n    want to discuss something. It's a really neat\n    feeling when I've helped someone or just given\n    someone an ear when they didn't expect it.\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Probably Innanna. She's got a pretty cool room to\n    sit in, she sees a lot of people come by, though I\n    don't think I'd like to be killed as often as she\n    is! Oh and she's an Amazon. I mean, what a neat\n    job! Pheayre thinks I'd be good at being \"an\n    annoying little whiner\" ... I'm not entirely sure\n    what that means ... :)\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    I've really enjoyed watching players -- who, for\n    the longest time have been feeling like they've\n    done it all, seen it all -- get out and explore\n    and just enjoy being a part of the game and RoD\n    community.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Adonia\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Not too often. I go through spurts where I try\n    but...anyone who knows me will tell you what a\n    terrible terrible terrible mortal I make ;)\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    For pure fun, I've always liked the \"a crown of\n    lotus petals\". However, I am quite attached to my\n    lifebanes, I'll be the first to admit.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    I'd have to say the Tree of Life. I have always\n    loved the Tree. It's just a really neat area. So\n    unique and so much fun to play in.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    The perfect day would start out with a quest.\n    Probably something where there was lots of death\n    and fun to be had by all. Then maybe some good\n    banter on Avchat and Immtalk. And perhaps helping\n    a newbie or even an experienced player with a\n    problem, such as a CR or a question. I guess just\n    a day of relaxing fun and excitement.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Aeriel\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Aeriel\nLevel : 53\nOrgs : Newbie Council\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    I began playing in mid - 1996, which is when a\n    friend started playing it at my house. I found it\n    intriguing, and thought I would try...one login,\n    and I was hooked! =)\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    I became an immortal on Realms on December 13,\n    2000.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    It would have to be the people, I have made some\n    awesome friends here...as well as meeting my\n    husband here. I also like the fact that the\n    friends I have made here have been awesome...not\n    just online friends. We've met a few people r\/l,\n    and they've been just as awesome in person as\n    online. =)\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I enjoy seeing the interaction of people here, you\n    can see some really hilarious and interesting\n    conversations on channels at times... And I also\n    really like seeing people helping each other out.\n    It is very rare nowadays for me to see someone\n    asking for help on channels and no one responding.\n    I think that's fantastic and speaks volumes about\n    our wonderful players.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Aeriel\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    An absolute favorite? That's a tough call, because\n    I enjoy most all facets of the job. I guess it\n    would be a toss-up between hosting pkills,\n    building, and helping out where I can.\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Harakiem, for several reasons. He sees some pretty\n    interesting things in that room, yet no one really\n    takes note of him, unless they decide they want to\n    kill him...something about hefting a huge sharp\n    axe and beheading people appeals to me when I am\n    stressed out. *grin*\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    I don't think I have just one particular favorite\n    thing about it...Everything looks awesome, and I\n    am truly impressed by the hard work and dedication\n    that was put into the project. You all are\n    awesome...you know who you are...and we thank you!\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Aeriel\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    No, I don't. I actually DO have a mortal alt, but\n    I just log her about once a month to keep her from\n    deleting....which reminds me, I need to do that.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Hands down, my wedding band from Adric. At one\n    point there was some sort of problem that made the\n    name go nuts on it...I freaked out about it.\n    That's the only piece of equipment that Aeriel\n    carries that I would ever worry about...it means\n    so much to me.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    I've always liked Coral Depths, personally. I just\n    think it is really neat, I like the way it was\n    written, and I like the way it was tied into the\n    Realms.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Hmmm, well, I guess that would be a day when no\n    one illegally pkills anyone else, or gets mad\n    because a name is denied, or no one causes a scene\n    on public channels. A day when everything went\n    totally smoothly, no bugs or crashes....but, if\n    that were to happen, a lot of us, me included,\n    would most likely be out of a job. *grin*\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Altrag\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Altrag\nLevel : 60\nOrgs : Code Council\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    8 years.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    7 years.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    The people.. Well.. Some of them :)..\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    Fun new ways to abuse mortals! Hehe j\/k.. I like\n    to see cool new code and areas come in that the\n    players like and use (whether it be a new command\n    for Imms only or a new area for players to\n    explore)...\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Coding.. but then anyone who knows me and likely\n    most that have only heard of me probably know this\n    anyways :)...\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Hmmm.. I've never had any desire to be a mob\n    actually..\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Altrag\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    How all the people who used to complain about\n    having nothing to do and begging for new areas\/\n    skills\/etc are now complaining that they don\u2019t\n    know any of the areas\/skills\/etc :).. Ahhhh the\n    irony!\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Nope..\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Don't really have one.. unless you count some of\n    my equipment, but that\u2019s all been modified so that\n    doesn\u2019t really count :)...\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Don't really have one of those either :P...\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Well for me personally, finding a nifty bug that\u2019s\n    been eluding us coders for a while is always nice\n    :).. Of course, its nicer to not have bugs that\n    are so elusive in the first place though :)..\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                             Ceirana\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Ceirana\nLevel : 57\nOrgs : Ascendere, Visionary Consortium, Overseer of\n       Guilds\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    Hmm.... 6+ years I think it is now.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    Somewhere between 2 and 3 years.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    There are too many nifty things to list on one\n    note.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I like to see people helping each other out. I\n    like to see people out exploring and trying to\n    figure out new stuff. I like to see people use\n    words such as 'please' and 'thank-you'.\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Building.\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    I've always had a soft spot for Bahamut, so that\n    or perhaps a wandering priest.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                             Ceirana\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    There are so many fine changes that came with the\n    Shattering, it is pretty difficult to select any\n    one thing. Scan all is pretty cool. I think the\n    Asgard concept is pretty neat. I like how the\n    classes are all more individualistic now in terms\n    of spells and skills. So many new areas came in\n    also, I haven't gotten about to all of them yet\n    but have seen enough to know there is a lot of\n    really spiffy stuff out there. I love the druid\n    slist with all the old Celtic\/Gaelic names for the\n    spells. Having align-based slists for some classes\n    is very interesting also. Lots of newness.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    I try to keep current with the mortal side of\n    things but it can be difficult.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    I love the organ in GOC. Also the mystic eye of\n    foresight, and fish-ka-bobs\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                             Ceirana\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    My favourite area is one that isn't ported yet :)\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Perfect day as an immortal.. hmm.. toughie.\n    Several things come to mind... building when\n    feeling truly inspired and having all the progs\n    work exactly as intended without bugging and\n    without spending hours and hours on it :) Either\n    that or dicing with a few other Imms who shall\n    remain nameless lest their reputations become\n    tarnished :)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Cersei\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Cersei\nLevel : 56\nOrgs : Deity of MaidenStone\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    I think it was around 5 years ago now that I\n    started, and since I got hooked straight away,\n    well that was the beginning of rather a few hours\n    online!\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    I think Alzheimer\u2019s is setting in. 2 years, 3\n    years? Something like that. I Imm'd right after\n    Luc, and a few months after Iliana and Elisabet.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    The people. Whatever neat code, whatever flaws\n    with mobs, whatever beautiful areas. The people\n    make the game, both mortal and immortal, and it\n    the respect and affection that I have for the\n    people who use Realms, that keeps me coming back.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    People being kind rather than slapping each other\n    down. People policing themselves and keeping the\n    peace rather than immortals having to do it.\n    People enjoying themselves, again mortal or\n    immortal. Its good to see people happy.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Cersei\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Promoting people to Immortalhood was pretty good\n    fun actually. It was hard to do it with a straight\n    face sometimes as we'd tease them so. Other than\n    that I guess its being deity of MaidenStone.\n    They're a great collection of people and I enjoy\n    their company.\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Wow, tough question. Reminds me of my Newbie\n    Council interview. I think the Inahir hunt leader,\n    but I'm biased there. I think Zelah gets a lot of\n    company, so maybe her?\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    Seeing the hard work of my fellow immortals being\n    appreciated by a wider community. I think there\n    were only a few people who understood exactly how\n    much work had gone into that project, and I was\n    certainly blown away by it, even after having\n    worked on it myself. It\u2019s really good to see\n    appreciation for their labours after keeping it\n    all secret for so long.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Not as often as I'd like, and usually only to\n    roleplay.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Cersei\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    The birthday present Moonbeam and Kali gave me a\n    while ago. Which is top secret and only useful for\n    taunting older brothers. For easily obtained items,\n    It\u2019s hard to go past a slice of pizza. Warm,\n    filling, and tasty.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Well it was New Thalos. MaidenStone headquarters\n    probably takes pride of place as it\u2019s easy enough\n    for me to find my way around in (I only get lost\n    twice a week) and the level of detail is superb.\n    Kudos to Circe there.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Being able to log on and say hello to all the\n    people I like. The time zone thing is a pain there\n    but if I can catch up with a few people that I'm\n    fond of, well it's hard for things to go downhill.\n    It's nice to get praise for hard work, especially\n    from other Immortals, but this isn't always easy\n    to come by. Like I said, the best thing about the\n    game is the people. Oh on second thought, it\u2019s\n    been very good to see lots of promotions lately.\n    Knowing how hard someone's worked, and seeing that\n    rewarded, is a great feeling. I think its been a\n    great way of showing both the immortals in\n    question, and the players, how much their work has\n    meant to the game. That's been a really bonus of\n    the Shattering.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Conran\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Conran\nLevel : 54\nOrgs : Deity of Surreptus, Visionary Consortium\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    Since June or July of 1996.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    Since the beginning of 2002\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    The people. I can play text games alone, but the\n    thing that keeps me coming back is without a doubt\n    all of the cool people I've met here :)\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I like watching people have fun, after all that\u2019s\n    why we're here :) I find a lot of the time that\n    you can see this on people\u2019s first runs, watching\n    people level their first ever character, or on a\n    lot of the quests that are run, so I try to join\n    in with those or watch whenever I can.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Conran\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    My favourite duty is voting on all of the\n    proposals that come before Visionary Consortium.\n    Before I Imm\u2019d, I was a member of The Symposium,\n    and have always loved being a part of making\n    changes to the game.\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    I'd love to be the Black Monk, screaming about\n    death and destruction to anybody walking by, but\n    since he's not in the game anymore, I'd choose to\n    be Rychard the banker, surrounded by all that\n    money would be really cool.\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    My favourite part about The Shattering is that the\n    game has been largely rearranged and rewritten, in\n    terms of areas and such, so there\u2019s an entire game\n    for everybody to explore, including people who\n    have been playing 5+ years.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Yes I do :)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Conran\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Probably the spinning top, it's kept me\n    entertained for many hours ;) They're really fun\n    when you have 10 or so at the same time...\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Midway of Despair, it may not have been opened\n    that many times while I was online, but its\n    something very different and there\u2019s always\n    something new and fun to play with in there :)\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Funnily enough, I'd say the perfect day was a\n    quiet one. Not that I don't love seeing spam of\n    course, but it means nobody is getting their\n    behind handed to them by a mob, they're not having\n    problems getting help, that they are busy working\n    out some puzzle or exploring an area. Basically,\n    it seems that when the place is quiet, people are\n    having a great time :)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Destre\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Destre\nLevel : 53\nOrgs : Quest Council\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    I have been playing for four years.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    I have been an Imm for four months.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n   The people who play, and all the things there are\n    to do.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I like seeing people get out and do stuff, like\n    exploring or running or leveling, and generally\n    contributing by helping in some way, be it on\n    channels or through their organizations.\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Being an Imm :>\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Destre\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    That tried and true realms citizen, the Froghemoth.\n    Get to hop around all day, waiting for daring\n    adventurers to say ribbit, croaking on channels,\n    showing any run team they had better be ready\n    *flex* :>\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    The upgrading of the Nephandi, plus we got a whole\n    new world to explore.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Not as much as I would like.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Whatever I need at the moment.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Any area that doesn\u2019t have a huge killer maze,\n    since I always get lost in mazes.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Logging on, coffee in hand, and finding everyone\n    in a good mood, not taking life\u2019s frustrations out\n    on the Realms population.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                            Elisabet\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Elisabet\nLevel : 56\nOrgs : Ringbearers, Co-Head of Quest Council\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    I will have been playing Realms for 4 years this\n    October.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    I have been an immortal for 2 years.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    Without a doubt, the people.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I enjoy watching people who are truly delighted by\n    finding something new in an area; liking a quest\n    for the quest, not just because it offers glory as\n    a prize; I also truly enjoy seeing the friendships\n    that can develop.\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    My favorite duty as an immortal is being a member\n    Of QC. I love making quests that people can enjoy.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                            Elisabet\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Hmm.. any mob? I think I'd like to be Harakiem...\n    just think of all the people he \"meets.\"\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    My favorite thing about the Shattering is the\n    entire newness of it all. All sorts of new places\n    to explore and find little trinkets.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    I never used to log my mortals, but I have every\n    day since the shattering.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Purely for sentimental reasons, a desert rose.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    My favorite area that I have explored since the\n    shattering that I just love is Thul Ab'hara.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Heh, tough one to answer because of the many\n    aspects of being an Imm. I would have to say\n    perfect days include ones in which everyone gets\n    along, plays fair, and no one feels threatened or\n    harassed.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                                 Kali\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Kali\nLevel : 62\nOrgs : Council of Elders, Inconnu\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    Eight years.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    Six and a half years.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    I have a very hard time picking favorites in most\n    categories. For me, it is probably the history.\n    The Realms exists in its current state due to a\n    densely packed combination of past events,\n    personalities and conflicts that no one knows in\n    totality. The entity that Realms has become, and\n    the casual effects of that, is something I find\n    fascinating.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    Mayhem.\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Causing mayhem.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                                Kali\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Ravenhill. Free Seth equipment.\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    That we actually managed to pull it off.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Whenever I have the time available, yes.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    It hasn't been found yet. Of known items, probably\n    Darkfire weapons.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Abattoir Asylum\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Spending the entire day building and managing to\n    transpose everything in my mind into text with\n    complete ease. Cap it off with a streak of\n    genocide and it would be pretty perfect.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                               Kinux\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Kinux\nLevel : 55\nOrgs : Advisor to Guilds, Deity of Nominis Umbra, The\n       Symposium\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    5 years\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    10 months.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    The diversity of experiences.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    More realism to areas.\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Building areas and interacting with the other\n    players.\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    There's a mob that Selina and I made in the east\/\n    west roads that is a highwayman.. He's a tad\n    insane. I think insanity is highly under-rated.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                               Kinux\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    The new geography. I like the fact that it\n    actually makes sense now!\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Not as often as I'd like, and usually on players\n    that people don't know. So.. that new fellow you\n    are running with [might] just be me!\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Hasn't been found yet.. ;)\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    I have a soft spot for one area in particular that\n    I was involved in writing (no names), but other\n    than that I'd have to say Dunhill.. It's one of\n    those areas that made me want to be a builder. :)\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Every day's been great! ;)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                               Loril\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Loril\nLevel : 56\nOrgs : Newbie Council\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    I've been playing since 1995.. maybe 1996..\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    I think I've been immortal about 3 years with a\n    brief hiatus. (Which Stoneheft took as his\n    opportunity to promote like crazy so I'll never be\n    able to silence him again!)\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    My favourite thing about Realms remains the\n    opportunities I get to help people experience the\n    wonder, humour, beauty and exhilaration that is\n    our world.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                               Loril\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n4.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Perhaps my favourite duty as an immortal, strange\n    as it might seem, is when I'm called to a dispute.\n    Every situation is unique yet beneath it all we're\n    all here for similar reasons. I try to help people\n    see another's viewpoint. In many ways of course,\n    this is also the most difficult duty because it\n    can't be done, ever, on autopilot. Next to that,\n    and very much related, is my position as a Newbie\n    Council immortal. Here are a group of volunteers\n    who give up their time, and their own hard-earned\n    cash! finding ways to coach our new players\n    through the million and one things they have to\n    learn in order to begin having fun. I try to\n    remind people of the 'Council' in the title.\n    They're so much more than sources of lights and CR\n    assistance. They are councilors and that takes\n    more time, patience and insight than any few lines\n    of text could ever sum-up.\n\n5.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    I'd like to be ol' Jeremiah for a day. Sitting on\n    a sunny rock, sharing a bit of peace and some\n    mighty fine wine. Does it get any better? :)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                               Loril\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n6.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    My favourite aspect of The Shattering is twofold.\n    Our phenomenal coders have given our builders so\n    many new tools to whet their creativity. There are\n    little touches here and there already which many\n    mortals have yet to experience! I was fortunate to\n    have spent a lot of time with a small portion of\n    the builder population through the creation of our\n    new world. It was like watching kids in a toy\n    store. Now, watching people find these little\n    touches, and see the result is such a thrill.\n    Knowing that these new tools from the coders have\n    the builders still thinking of cool new ways to\n    implement.. Much more is yet to come!\n\n7.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    I play as a mortal every chance I get but recently\n    there hasn't been as much time. I'll get back to\n    it, though because just like everyone else, my\n    mortals have _bunches_ of things to experience and\n    I can hardly wait to explore at length again.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                               Loril\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n8.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    My favourite item..? It's sort of a tie between\n    two sticks, strangely enough. The wooly on a stick\n    and the pointed stick. I'll leave it at that. ;)\n\n9.  What is your favourite area?\n    My favourite area has to be the Southern Mountains\n    geo and specifically the town of Edel. Many\n    reasons there. You need to look closely at the\n    place to see why. :)\n\n10. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    A perfect day as an immortal would be a day when\n    I've managed to read every board I need to read,\n    then written every note I'm supposed to write,\n    manage to find a good answer for every question\n    I'm asked and still drink a flagon of a good ale.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                            Moonbeam\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Moonbeam\nLevel : 60\nOrgs : Head of Visionary Consortium, Deity of Inconnu\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    8 years.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    6.5 years.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    Watching the culmination of years of work come to\n    fruition to form a successful game. When in doubt,\n    type who 1.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I enjoy change.. not change to screw anyone but\n    change to shake things up, try something new. This\n    becomes increasingly difficult with such a large\n    player base but it's still possible to add life to\n    RoD, and we have a great team of immortals to make\n    it happen.\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Making Blodkai Vote.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                            Moonbeam\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Divine Ret - She's just the epitome of cool to me.\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    That it's finally done.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Not as often as I would like but enough to keep in\n    touch.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Darkfire Thrasher - Every girl needs a good whip.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Tower of despair.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    There's no such thing and to be honest, it would\n    bother me if there were.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                             Pheayre\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Pheayre\nLevel : 53\nOrgs : Code Council, Arcanes\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    3 years, come beginning of last August.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    Since February 2001.\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    Meeting and getting to know people from all walks\n    of life.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    Greater cooperation between fellow players. An\n    honest effort to get along with others. An attempt\n    at understanding different opinions and views\n    (open-mindedness!). A reduction in the so-called\n    \"barriers\" put up because of association with an\n    organization.\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Hard to say. At the moment, I'm trying my hand at\n    code, so that's kinda fun.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                             Pheayre\n---------------------------------------------------------------\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Supermob! Just 'cuz.\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    Seeing players excited about the game again. Years\n    of work coming to fruition for those involved in\n    the port.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    On and off. It depends on the spare time I have\n    available between classes and what not.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Stoneheft's cup of bubble tea and its associated\n    bubble tea straw launcher. *egrin*\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Dragon's Pass.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Calling a day \"perfect\" in the life of an Immortal\n    is few and far between IMHO... however, if I know\n    put my best into whatever I'm doing and there are\n    genuine expressions of enjoyment on the faces of\n    the players, I'd call it all worth the effort.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                            Raltaris\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Raltaris\nLevel : 57\nOrgs : Co-Head of Newbie Council, Ascendere\n\n1.

Why?\n    Happy Death Orb, hopping around the Realms causing\n    a stir.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                            Raltaris\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    All the work finally being finished :p\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Only when I get time.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    ToD [Tower of Despair].\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Day spent on a mort listening to positive\n    reactions of people when they don't know who you\n    are so you know they really believe what they are\n    saying.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                              Selina\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Selina\nLevel : 56\nOrgs : Head of The Symposium, Deity of Ringbearers\n\n1.

If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    A quest mob because it's fun to see people work\n    together and figure out a strategy to kill it.\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    The new areas.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    I try to at least once a week.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    I don't have a favourite one.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    When I first Av'd I always thought it was neat all\n    the things you had to do to get to Brakky, so\n    Raven Tor would be it.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    Keeping active by helping people, not having\n    someone being a jerk to someone else, getting some\n    work done on whatever I am building and perhaps\n    help plan something.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                           Stoneheft\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Stoneheft\nLevel : 58\nOrgs : Co-Head of Newbie Council\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    I'm guessing 7 years.\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    I'm guessing a little over 4 years\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    Prior to the Shattering, I was impressed with the\n    quality of the areas. Since the Shattering, I'm\n    amazed by the enormity as well as the quality.\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I'd like to see it continue to grow as it always\n    has, in size, functionality and devoted player\n    base. I'm quite pleased seeing that there are some\n    people encouraging other players to become self-\n    sufficient as opposed to the onslaught of\n    formulaic types who are going to cause spam\n    forever. I think we have a lot of really awesome\n    people playing the mud.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                           Stoneheft\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Cleaning the stables in the Darkhaven Petshop.\n    Well, that or building.\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Any of the bartenders. People are always happy to\n    do business with a bartender and they make great\n    money.\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    Well my selfish answer to that is that it allowed\n    me to get a couple of areas that I'm really proud\n    of into the game. On the greater scheme of things,\n    however, I have to say that I love how the\n    Shattering makes our world so huge that we've all\n    got more years of exploring do and people won't\n    \"Finish The Game\" and decide they have nothing\n    left to do so soon anymore.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                           Stoneheft\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    From time to time.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Perhaps the Avatar's Scroll, but the quotations on\n    it need to be updated. Very few people remember\n    those who are quoted.\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Maybe Dunhill, it takes forever to figure it out\n    and you're never sure you're done.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    A nice quiet day where you can actually spend most\n    of your time working on improving the mud for\n    everyone rather than having to deal with selfish\n    individuals who don't want to figure out their own\n    problems and need a lot of \"Hand Holding\" while\n    they read the help files.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                           Thalasian\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Thalasian\nLevel : 53\nOrgs : Quest Council, Deity of Scorn\n\n1.  How long have you been playing Realms?\n    I've been playing for maybe close to 3 and a half\n    to 4 years now, I lost count somewhere :(\n\n2.  How long have you been an Immortal?\n    Been an immortal for 16 months I believe :)\n\n3.  What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n    Mortals dying at my hand, that is without a doubt\n    my favourite moments :)\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    What do I like seeing? People praising the great\n    and mighty Cow God for one, and secondly if they\n    praise me or not, striking them down when I\u2019m\n    bored!\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    My favvvouurrite duty has got to be making quests!\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                           Thalasian\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Well seeing as I\u2019m already a cow, people would\n    expect me to say a cow, however that is not the\n    case! I'd be a cute bunny, and cuddle up with\n    people! It's easier to cuddle if you're not a big\n    fat cow.\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    The Shattering diversified the classes. The\n    introduction of secondary stats couldn't have been\n    a better thing. There is also much more to explore,\n    which is a big plus. As for Nephs, they are useful!\n     (finally)\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    I mort often, oui oui!\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                           Thalasian\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Favourite item..now that's a hard one. I'll go\n    with anything that gets me drunk! :)\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Favourite area has got to be Dragon Pass, and any\n    other area with dragons!\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    My perfect day - no swearing on channels, and\n    massive deaths because someone triggered something\n    super-nasty on a mob a built causing over 15\n    deaths at once :)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                               Tical\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Tical\nLevel : 55\nOrgs : The Symposium\n\n1.

What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    People dying, funny xchans\/titles\/bios and people\n    helping each other.\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    Helping people out\/Answering questions\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                               Tical\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Puff the Fractal Dragon, because she is the one\n    who runs the show!\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    Everything, it makes everything new and you have\n    to relearn most directions, new areas and new\n    questions to be answered.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    Pretty often, mostly when I need a break from\n    working or to visit a friend.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Dicing Cups! I like to gamble while I'm on my\n    morts :)\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Midway! It's so much fun and so well done.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    I think everyday is perfect in its own little way.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                                Tiki\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName : Tiki\nLevel : 56\nOrgs : Code Council\n\n1.

What is your favourite thing about Realms?\n   The people. :)\n\n4.  What are some things you like seeing happen here?\n    I love seeing people helping their fellow players\n    out - comes from being an NC'er, I guess :)\n\n5.  What is your favourite duty as an Immortal?\n    I love anything involving the players... if I'm\n    not scolding them. ;) I guess 'answering questions'\n    would be my favourite duty. :)\n\n6.  If you could be any mob in the game for a day,\n    which would you be? Why?\n    Harakiem, because he meets everyone! Or Sonoria,\n    maybe... ;)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nEternally Bound - by Alysira                                Tiki\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n7.  What is your favourite thing about The Shattering?\n    I was amazed at how wonderful the older players\n    were about it... I really expected to hear a lot\n    of whining and complaining (hey, change is hard on\n    everyone!), but they all pitched in and really\n    stuck together.\n\n8.  Do you often play as a Mortal?\n    No... not as much as I should.\n\n9.  What is your favourite item in the game?\n    Lollipops! Pure sugar!\n\n10. What is your favourite area?\n    Dunhill... it still is the most beautiful area on\n    the game to me.\n\n11. How would you describe the perfect day as an\n    Immortal?\n    A perfect day to me would be when I could answer\n    every question, be allowed to do every request,\n    and have time to talk to people on the game. No\n    one would harass anyone, there would be no illegal\n    pkills or swearing or bashing on channels, and\n    everyone would help everyone with CRs... and\n    Rfjkdsla in pre-auth wouldn't whine about not\n    getting auth\u2019d! ;)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nGuild Tributes                                               GoT\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTo Ceirana and Kinux,\n\nCeirana, thank you for all the work you've put into\ngetting the guilds ready for the big upgrade.

She was our mother, her\nembrace tainted slightly by the love that she forever\nheld for us as her children. She was in front of us\nwhen we charged off into battle and behind us when we\nwere on trial for our deeds within the nations. She\nwielded a certain type of charm that washed away\ndoubts and fears. She possessed a power that can only\nbe named by those within our walls that knew her then\nand see her now. After numerous battles within and\nbeyond our walls, something happened that no one had\nexpected, something came about then to the surprise to\nall of us. The mortal body that was our mother, our\nleader, our driving force, died away and was reborn\nanew.\n\nShe became Immortal.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nOrder Tributes                                             Baali\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nShocking as this was upon our very souls, we had no\nchoice but to accept this change that fate had placed\nbefore us. The magics of the Gods could not be undone\nin this matter, not even by the Baali. For a time it\nseemed as if she had abandoned us and our ways, but\nnever did she faulter, never did she stop striving for\nus, though we could not see this and we did not always\nknow. And for this change we did mourn. We mourned her\nas we have never mourned any one or any thing, for our\nleader was now out of our reach and now change would\nreign within the walls that had seemed forever stable\nand solid.  And then...\n\nSomething else that we did not intend. Scorn and\nhatred directed towards the world at first began to\nturn inward and the darkness and chaos that was Baali\nbegot a new Baali, and our hearts begin to mend in the\nonly way they could, differently for each of us. And\nyet, her presence was still ever strong, ever ebbing\nand vibrating within our walls, sometimes almost\ndeafening with words of mere silence. But she was\nthere. And we could see her.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nOrder Tributes                                             Baali\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAfter many years under the dark touch of our very\nmissed Lord Taboo and the fetching of fresh blood, the\nseduction of new entities to join the Swarm, the\nthings that were nearly became nothing more than\nlegend. Immortals and mortals alike, came and went,\nbut those of us that are the heart of Baali, those of\nus that are true to the Swarm stayed, gutting out the\nunhappy times and the unwary attitudes with the faint\nmemory of time past and we taught the new of our old\nways, and the things that were Baali lived on with the\nnew generations. The new generations did not know of\nour missed pillar of strength... not until times\nchanged again.  By some twist of fate did she return\nto us.\n\nBaali shattered long ago, but then so did the world,\nand it seemed after all these things, the pieces that\nwere both had been sewn back into place by many and\nthen so few. After both so many are missed, so many\nmourned, but as time marches on and the wheel of fate\nspins, the one that has been mourned the most by the\nSwarm was finally granted a return. Not as our leader,\nbut as our Deity.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nOrder Tributes                                             Baali\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAnd Baali rejoiced, for now the lessons of time and\nchange have permeated us, teaching us that all things\nmust change and that patience is a virtue never to be\nforgotten.\n\nHer leaving made us mourn, her return gave us strength\nand hope. Her deeds with us and away from us have not\ngone unnoticed and we thank her for all she has done.\n\nOn behalf of Baali, I make my voice be heard. Iliana,\nwe were very proud to have your as our leader and now\nas our Deity. You have accomplished so very much in\nyour short time as an immortal here, both for the\nrealms and for us. For everything you have done, are\ndoing, and will do in the future, we thank you.

Now how do imms see their own\ncolleagues? So, we penned the question, Who is your\nfavorite immortal and why? Seemingly an easy answer,\nsome immortals struggled to find a favorite one,\nwhile others couldn't pick a single one. All would like\nto point out, that there are so many people that make\nso many different contributions, that it wasn't fair to\nforce them to pick one.  However, we tried to make\nthem do just that and this is what we came up with.\n\nShargate: I'd have to go with either Kali for just\ngeneral witticisms...Or Darrek for typically great\ntitles ;)\n\nRaltaris: Edmond, since when I first started playing\nhere he was a great role model and someone to look up\nto. He does amazing work, hence why he is now in the\nCoE I guess.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nWho are the Imm's Favorite Imms - by Ganemanoimu             Fav\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTical: If I had to pick one I would have to say\nMoonbeam, I really think she is the most dedicated\nperson here, she does like EVERYTHING and she keeps\neverything in order for the rest of us. She rocks...:)\n\nDestre: My favorite imm is Tiki because she is such a\nlovely person and always ready to help everyone.\n\nSelina: Hmm... That's a hard one... I have people who I\nam closer to as friends, and others who I would go to\nif had a problem. I consider many of the immortals my\nclose friends and can rely on them for almost anything\nI need help with. When I have a problem and need the\nadvice of someone, I go to Ceirana because she is\nalways willing to listen and to help me figure out a\nsolution.\n\nCeirana: I'd definitely say Edmond, because he's a\nmover and shaker and gets the job done. He's competent\nwith every aspect of the game and responds quickly to\nquestions and problems. I would also like to mention\nSelina for sheer online marathon and workload also,\nshe is amazing :)\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nA Special Thank You - by Moonbeam                             TY\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nWhen I heard this month\u2019s edition was to be a tribute\nto immortals, I decided it was about time we paid\ntribute to someone who doesn\u2019t get appreciated enough.\nBlodkai has been my mentor, my idol, and my friend for\nalmost 6 years and there are no words to express how\ninvaluable he is to his peers and this game. Without\nhim, I personally would have faded out years ago (so\nyes he\u2019s partially to blame for my still being around).\nI asked around the ranks for thoughts about him and\nhere\u2019s what other immortals had to say:\n\nPheayre:\nTo the imm that shares an interest in Blowpipe anti-\ntank missiles and high-performance fighters! You rock!\n\nAdonia:\nFirst off, I think Blodkai's a great great GREAT imm.\nHe's always been one of the imms who has helped me the\nmost with any problem whenever I have needed it.\n\nTiki:\nBlodkai's mind amazes me... it never stops. He throws\nout ideas so fast that I can hardly keep up with him.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nA Special Thank You - by Moonbeam                             TY\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAltrag:\nHe's almost 20k years old.. that's pretty cool :P\n\nThalasian:\nBlodkai rocks! He's patient (obviously) and incredibly\ndedicated to the MUD.\n\nDria:\nI will always be grateful to Blodkai most of all for\nshowing patience in the face of idiocy, namely mine.\nWhen I was learning about mob programs and smaugspells\nhe was a fantastic resource, it seemed like he knew\neverything!\n\nStoneheft:\nBlodkai accomplishes everything he says he will.\nEverything he does works well.\n\nConran:\nI admire Blodkai for both his dedication and\ncreativity. If you need his help, he's always happy to\ndo whatever he can as soon as he can, and every time\nI've spoken to him he has amazed me with his\nspontaneous great ideas for the game.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nA Special Thank You - by Moonbeam                             TY\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAeriel:\nI admire him for his sense of fairness and his ability\nto be reasonable....as well as his patience. He's\nawesome.\n\nHerne:\nBlodkai: When Blod says 'That's interesting, I'll have\nto try that...' Be afraid\n\nCeirana:\nI think the best thing about Blodkai is that he has\nmanaged to remain an enigma after all these years.\nBlodkai is shrouded in a certain sense of mystery,\nwhich lends itself very well to the Realm and his\nposition in it.\n\nMyra:\nI can always count on Blodkai to say some of the most\nabsurd things that make me smile. Blodkai has a tough\nouter image that I'll never betray, but inside, he's\nthe big brother I always wanted.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nA Special Thank You - by Moonbeam                             TY\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nKali:\nI have known and worked with Blodkai for years, as a\nmortal and an immortal.  Every compliment that had\nbeen paid to him about his solomonic wisdom, absurd\nhumour and monolithic stature are true and deserved.\nHe has irrevocably changed the mud in ways few people\nwill ever know or understand. But above everything, I\nwill always think of him first and foremost as a\nfriend. Oh, and \u2018Chicks Dig Him\u2019.\n\n\nIt is impossible to sum up into words the value of\nthe contributions he has made to RoD in his time as an\nimmortal but this was a small peek into the man, the\nmyth and the legend. On behalf of the Immortal staff,\nI\u2019d like to thank Blodkai for sharing with us his\nwisdom, his wide breadth of knowledge and his\ninvaluable sense of humor. You\u2019re truly great.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nDear Myra and Ilsensine - by Myra + Ilsensine                M+I\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDear Myra and Ilsensine,\nI think that there are people out to get me. I promise\nthat I'm not paranoid or anything, but I swear that some\npeople are purposefully mean to me or try to get me to say\nbad things just so I'll look bad. What should I do?\n-Scared Silly\n\n\nDear Scared Silly,\nI am sure that no one is out to get you. If you honestly\nthink that these people have a problem with you, then take a\nmoment to calmly talk things over with them. I am positive\nthat there is a perfectly logical explanation for all of\nthis.  Just remember to stay calm. Getting over excited or\nlosing your temper will solve nothing.\n-M\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nDear Myra and Ilsensine - by Myra + Ilsensine                M+I\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDear Scared Silly,\nUh oh. Myra doesn't seem to think this is a serious\nsituation?!! Are you going to let her talk to you (well not\nreally to you, but hey) like that? I know I wouldn't. This\nis a clear-cut case of 'Everyone Sucks And Must Die'\ndisorder. There is only one solution. You must sneak out to\na moat at 4 am, clad only in a turban and clashing papoose.\nAt the appointed time, in the correct clothing, scream the\nwords, 'I really really... don't like you!' It may be hard\nto find this much vehemence and passion within your being,\nbut once you find it, you'll quickly find that all your\nenemies will be turned into cartoon jello moulds.

It has gotten me into trouble\nsometimes and now I find myself worried about what other\npeople think of me because of it. Can I make it up to any\nof them?\n-Foot-in-mouth\n\nDear Foot-in-mouth,\nI think that we all suffer from this sometimes. I call it\nreacting versus responding. A reaction is often a reflex\nand involves little to no thought. A response considers\nthinking before speaking or acting. In my opinion, it's\nnever too late to \"turn around.\" You can start by\napologizing to those that you think you may have hurt.\nBeyond that, try responding instead of reacting when you\ntalk to people or on channels.  Best of luck!\n-M\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nDear Myra and Ilsensine - by Myra + Ilsensine                M+I\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDear Foot-in-mouth,\nI feel that the question is not so much of prevention\nand damage limitation... but more a matter of\naccepting and loving the part of yourself that insists\non awkwardly cramming those feet in your mouth. Have\nyou considered using a peppermint and sage foot lotion\nto make the experience more pleasurable? Perhaps you\ncould even try shoving your feet in other people's\nmouths? Thus giving them the unique delight of your\nfragrant footsies on their delicate palates, as well\nas having the most useful side effect of shutting them\nup for a good bit. (Corn plasters not included)\n-I\n\n<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>\n\nIt is with a heavy heart that Myra and Ilsensine\nannounce the indefinite suspension of Dear M+I. As\nMyra takes on her duties of being an Immortal, she\nmay at some time in the future be able to devote time\nto the CoD and the Queen of Ice. However, until that\ntime, know that she will miss her role as the Queen of\nnice.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nVoices of the Realms                                      Voices\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nVaried are the races of the Realms, and so are they\nunique. Each brings their own aspect to the world.\nElves grace us with their dignity and pride. The drow\nremind us of the darkness within us all. The dwarves\nburrow and craft, and the halflings foster hidden\ndepths. Pixies? Pixies are many things.\n\nPixies are the mischief, the colour, the joy of the\nworld. Do you know where pixies come from? On dew-\nsoaked nights, with the moon shining high in the sky,\nblossoms open. Fragrant, colourful, baby pixies emerge.\nTheir delicate wings spread, drying in the breeze. The\nyoung pixies crouch on petals, eyes wide, absorbing\nthe vastness of the world. Then a spark lights in\ntheir eyes, and they launch themselves, reveling in\nflight, free to spread pixie spirit.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nVoices of the Realms                                      Voices\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nPixies have not always had that spark, however. Many\naeons ago, when pixies lived in the forests of Kontaur,\na sacred and secret flame burned, in a secluded glade.\nPixies came to dance in the fire, for it burned them\nnot, but nourished their spirit.\n\nA most powerful and reclusive sorcerer lived in the\nforests. Disturbed by the rustlings and yips and yells\nof the pixies, he ensorcelled the flame and stole it\naway. No longer could the pixies delight in its warm\nembrace, and slowly the joy faded from the pixies.\nThey lost their spriteliness, and instead trudged\ndisconsolately, or cowered in the depths of the woods.\nThe spark had gone.\n\nOther races found that, unexpectedly, the mischief of\nthe pixies was part of their lives. No longer were\nthey taunted to tears; instead, they were bored to\ntears. Colour faded, until all seemed brown and grey.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nVoices of the Realms                                      Voices\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe almighty Thoric gazed upon his creation, and saw\nthe drabness and despair. He cast potent spells upon\nthe mean sorcerer, and banished him to Limbo. The\nsorcerer fought valiantly, even transforming himself\ninto a dragon, but he could not escape Thoric's wrath.\nHe lingers on in Limbo to this day.\n\nIt shone down like a gentle moonbeam, and cast its\nblessing onto every pixie it touched. The pixies\ndanced once more, and shouted with joy, for the flame\nwas now in them! The flame could never be stolen again,\nbecause every pixie had their own spark.\n\nEvery pixie, that is, except those hiding in the\ndeepest part of the woods. The light could not reach\nthese pixies. These pixies became dark and twisted,\nand now fuel their life by performing dark deeds.\n\nThis imbalance meant that colour never truly returned\nto the Realms. Thus the sorcerer left a dark and\ndespairing mark on the world, truly a monument to\naspire to.\n\nThe End.\n\nJexia

Delanna and Shealah\nhost slots, Vitarla hosts Black Jack, and Damayanti\nhosts the high stakes slots.\n\nWhat types of auction services do you offer?\nOrestes acts as an agent to buy, sell, or auction\nitems. She also acts as a bank. Deposits over a\nspecified amount pay interest. Minimum deposit for\ninterest is 10 million coins, and the rate is\ncurrently 0.25%. The maximum interest deposit is 750\nmillion coins. Interest is paid weekly, based on an\naverage daily balance. Orestes can handle amounts over\n2.147 billion, but deposits and withdrawals must be\nmade in amounts less than or equal to 1 billion coins.\n\nWhat types of miscellaneous services do you offer?\nLoans are available on a case by case basis. I will\nalso act as a intermediary for any in-game transaction\nfor a small percentage of the transaction amount.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nAdvertisements                                               Ads\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nWhat guarantees, if any, do you provide?\nEquipment and deposits on Orestes are insured in the\nevent of loss due to my fault. The collateral for this\nis approximately 10 billion coins, in both gold and\nhigh end equipment that can be used to replace or\nrefund any error on my part.\n\nAre there any benefits for bigger spenders?\nAs soon as some houses become available on the market,\nthere will be a private casino established for the top\n25 vendors. The access to this casino will be limited\nto those on that list, or people who pay a membership\nfee. I also tend to be more lenient on refunds to my\ntop customers.\n ______ __  __  ____      ___ ____   ___    ___ __ __  ____ ____   \n | || | ||  || ||        \/\/   || \\\\ \/\/ \\\\  \/\/   || \/\/ ||    || \\\\  \n   ||   ||==|| ||==     ((    ||_\/\/ ||=|| ((    ||((  ||==  ||  )) \n   ||   ||  || ||___     \\\\__ || \\\\ || ||  \\\\__ || \\\\ ||___ ||_\/\/ \n                       ___  ___   __  __ __\n                      \/\/   \/\/ \\\\ (( \\ || \/\/\n                     ((    ||=||  \\\\  ||(( \n                      \\\\__ || || \\_)) || \\\\\n\n             .-------.   .-------.   .-------.   .-------.\n             |   _   |   | ** ** |   |   *   |   |  \/ \\  |\n             | _( )_ |   |*  *  *|   | *   * |   | \/   \\ |\n             |(__ __)|   | *   * |   |*     *|   | \\   \/ |\n             |   I   |   |   *   |   |  *I*  |   |  \\ \/  |\n             |  ACE  |   | KING  |   | QUEEN |   | JACK  |\n             '-------'   '-------'   '-------'   '-------'\n\n           For all your gambling, banking, and trading needs!\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nAdvertisements                                               Ads\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n>From the Staff of the CoD: Thank you for reading!!!\n\nFeedback?
